Leveraging Double Materiality as a Decision‐Making Tool for ESG Management and Reporting in Hydroponics

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and double materiality can be integrated within the agri‐food sector, with a particular focus on a company operating in hydroponic agriculture. This study conducts a comprehensive double materiality assessment to evaluate the organization's socio‐environmental ...

Eco‐Efficient in Mediterranean Olive Grove Systems: Insights From a Life Cycle Cost Analysis in Southern Portugal

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses and compares the eco‐efficiency of six olive production systems in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal, employing a life cycle costing (LCC) approach directly integrated with a prior life cycle assessment (LCA). Although LCC has been increasingly applied to Mediterranean olive‐growing, empirical research in Portugal ...

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...
